The journey ends…Lovelle Svart 1945-2007

Lovelle Svart, who shared through online videos the struggle and choices of her final months, ended her life September 28 by taking a drug overdose prescribed at her request under Oregon’s Death With Dignity Act. She was 62 and had lived with lung cancer for nearly five years.

Thank you, The Oregonian and the team that helped bring us her story – Rob Finch, Don Colburn, and Ed Madrid.
